<div class="block">Charsets required of every implementation of the Java platform.

 From the Java documentation <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/nio/charset/Charset.html">Standard
 charsets</a>:
 <p>
 <cite>Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following character encodings. Consult the
 release documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings are supported. Consult the release
 documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings are supported. </cite>
 </p>

 <ul>
 <li><code>US-ASCII</code><br>
 Seven-bit ASCII, a.k.a. ISO646-US, a.k.a. the Basic Latin block of the Unicode character set.</li>
 <li><code>ISO-8859-1</code><br>
 ISO Latin Alphabet No. 1, a.k.a. ISO-LATIN-1.</li>
 <li><code>UTF-8</code><br>
 Eight-bit Unicode Transformation Format.</li>
 <li><code>UTF-16BE</code><br>
 Sixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, big-endian byte order.</li>
 <li><code>UTF-16LE</code><br>
 Sixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, little-endian byte order.</li>
 <li><code>UTF-16</code><br>
 Sixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, byte order specified by a mandatory initial byte-order mark (either order
 accepted on input, big-endian used on output.)</li>
 </ul>

 This perhaps would best belong in the Commons Lang project. Even if a similar class is defined in Commons Lang, it is
 not foreseen that Commons Codec would be made to depend on Commons Lang.

 <p>
 This class is immutable and thread-safe.
